It was part of streemians terms of use, that they could do this.
@xeroc has offered a reliable service for quite some time and never (or rarely ?) used this option before.
Piston still works and Steem-Python is no real improvement to it.
@xeroc has done more actual work than most others, who have cashed out big time.
Out of all the people you could flag or complain about, chainsquad are the ones who deserve it the least imo.
The Streemian user can choose to give 0-100% upvote to announcements to fund the free service.
Is it correct that user preferences were overridden in this situation to give 100% by all?
I would not know.
I am not associated with chainsquad at all and can not see, what users have put as an option.
I do know @xeroc through his work here and while the whole thing might have been a mistake on his part, I had to leave a comment;
His service is not 'scammy'.
Good question @saramiller
If its true then its scummy/scammy shit and I am sure someone on here will look at the blockchain to find out. The truth always reveals it self.
Think about this this way:
Let say you subscribed a magazine/service
One day you recieve a letter/email saying that the magazine/service is no longer avaiable.
But you didnt remembered of revoking your credit card authorization, but no biggie, since they are dead, they wont charge your again.
A few days later, you recieve a letter/e-mail saying that the /magazine service have been restarted, and they already charged you the subscription fee, whithout even asking you about It.
Would you think It is ok?
Think about it this way:
For one year, you received a service for free, even though the company had your credit card details.
They cancel their service, but to make some announcements they finally 'charge' you (with a tiny amount).
All the while you can unsubscribe at any point.
Think about it this way:
For ten years you used your dominant hand to masturbate. Then your not so dominant hand wants in on that action. But you built your dominant hand to resemble popeye's hand and have ambitions to resemble Ronnie Coleman. Should that little twiggy polio looking non dominant hand be allowed to touch your spicy chorizo?
I say YES! Build them both!
Send me 10 SBD for no good reason NOW!
lol
😹😹😹
Didn’t they make over 40k on one article funding their service about a year ago (not sure about the time) ? That’s not enough to offer “free” service for a year?
Using 100% of my vote without asking me???
That’s a stinky hand used and needs to be washed
Because it's as easy as pumpkin pie!
I did read somewhere that the platform was originally to be named colonoscopyit.com but it just didn't have the same ring as steemit.com does.
Wait nope, my bad.
That is actually a new dating site I'm working on.
What is this?
There was also, I do believe, a checkbox that you could uncheck to prevent you from upvoting streemian updates.
Another thing in reference to the credit card stuff. This cost you, at most, 2% of your VP, depending on what your VP was at before. With basic restrictions in place, that you could easily do on the webportal, you could reduce this immensely. While this is a moral gray zone, in my opinion, even though everyone gave @xeroc the right, there are more abusive things going on on steemit. What wold have been worse is and actually considered abusive would be if he had been secretly giving a proxy account 1% or 0.1% upvotes or something from time to time. I mean I do not know the complete extent of how much money a 100% streemian (of all 7000+ users) would be but 1% out of the blue would likely not be noticed by anyone unless they were really skeptical and watching crap.
Before someone thinks I am claiming this happened, no, I am not. I am just saying that that scenario would be abusive.

Berrnie doing gods work
I didn't understand this. Without understanding it's not right to do anything. I need to be sure enough to know what is exactly I am going to do. Will that be beneficial for me or not? If yes I'll definitely go for it.
They're using our votes to promote their content.
They just misused the posting key to promote their own content.

Sounds like something I want no part in. Hard to trust services like that these days.
Why? What is it and what does it do?
Is busy.org not scammy?
I noticed their move from accepting posting key to demanding active key.
What is the difference between busy.org and streemian?
They just misused the posting key.

Thanks for the info bro
@berniesanders please consider it done, what he did was betrayal of trust, using people's access keys to vote your post without their consent is criminal .

As usual berniesanders you are on top of all type of unfair shit in the community. Exactly something a good platform like this needs. We don't need the fine print terms and conditions in the crypto space as well. The banks have alot of people conditioned to believe its acceptable. Glad you calling things out as you see it. You always get a upvote from me. Fair play is where its at.
I did not know how to get rid of Stremian. It is constantly using UpVote for its content. Thank you very much for this share.
I agree with you. Finally I get rid of Stremian too. Thanks @berniesanders

Nice post, i like for you
great information sir. i like your post and following.
What exactly is this about? What does streemian do exactly?
When you repeat the same comment on multiple post you sound like a bot! If it walks like a bot, squawks like a bot, it may be flagged for being a bot!
Your Reputation Could be a Tasty Snack with the Wrong Comment!

Thanks. Upvoted to get the awareness out there. It might be good to also explain why its a scammy service so theres no confusion for us who don't know streemian as well.
Nice
I do not know why some people are spoiling the peaceful atmosphere of Steemit. its against the rules
Interesting!!
Don't want no part of that,thanks for information

Mantap....
What is this all about?
Apparently they use people's posting keys to upvote their own content.
Who use our key to promte their content?
Really???????????????
Such confusion out here. Don't know who is correct and who is wrong.
